She is a true teammate in every sense of the word, and her leadership played a big part in our team’s success. Her work ethic, desire and love for the game are unmatched. She will be sorely missed next season.”

Coach’s report: “Besides her great statistics, Karintha was the spark we needed. She would dive to make that great play in warmups or practice, it didn’t matter to her. She has no dial to turn up the intensity, just an on/off switch. Her leadership helped us become a real good team.”
